Between sky, earth and sea - Uphill route but spectacular view, you don't know what to photograph first. When you are near the towers the view is something indescribable. You can breathe history in this ancient Republic. Along the route you will find shops of all kinds and, as it is a free port, you do not pay VAT.

A jump in the past - Multi-storey car park with lift. Clean streets and lots of friendliness. The ancient and modern that sit side by side without clashing. 3 museums, the towers, the basilica and the squares. Many souvenir shops, breathtaking views and the cable car. Bring comfortable shoes because the streets are steep. There is something to eat for every budget: from piadina to gourmet dishes, the choice is yours.

I enjoyed walking along the narrow streets and cobbled alleys - This walking tour of San Marino enchanted my with the heritage and it's fascinating history narrated by the tour guide. The Gothic style Public Palace was interesting and walking along the narrow streets and cobbled alleys was like going back in time. I bought some souvenirs from a local shop. If you can put on your comfy shoes and are ready to walk, this tour is worth the time.
